RE: 9i NT

Usually I would agree with you on that one, most of the time it does start.
But there are those occasions where the "service" will start, but then when
you go to connect to the db it says "Oracle not available" because of some
stupid error. So then you go with svrmgrl to find what in the hay is goin
on:)
Sincerely,
Kev

Kevin, Starting the NT service for the oracle instance
has never started the database in any version of
Oracle on NT by default. I think what you have seen
before is the use of the auto start service of the DB.
This service has a dependency to the SID service, so
when you start the SID service it would start the
database as well. This auto start and shutdown feature
can be configured through the oradim.exe command.

There is also a -startup option that will allow you to
specify the password.

Good Luck,

Scott
